Ok so heres my dilemma. I figured I would test out tethering and see what my speeds are. So I connected my TP to my computer and selected the "Tethering" option when it showed up on my phone and thought, ok this should be easy. It connected to my computer, so i disabled my current wireless connection thinking my phones connection would automatically take over. But i was wrong, as a matter of fact nothing happened. When i checked my network settings, it told me i was connected with limited or no internet. Huh? Really? did i do something wrong? When you select tethering from the popup screen does it automatically run the Internet Sharing app?
So now i tried unplugging and replugging my phone back in and now that little popup screen doesnt even show up. Activesync doesnt connect, but i figured you couldnt run activesync and tethering at the same time. But now even worse is when i go to the Internet Sharing app and hit connect, it doesnt connect, it just says "Check usb Cable". As im doing all of this i have network connections up on my computer, watching to see if anything changes. So here i am in the internet sharing app and i hit connect, it says check usb cable, so i hit disconnect and right when i hit disconnect, it shows that im connected on my pc. ????? But even still when i try to surf the web it doesnt work. IDK what i/i'm did/doing wrong.
I like the popup screen when i connect my device to pc and would like to get that back if possible. Can someone please shed some light on 1.How to Tether 2. How to get the popup screen back (even though in all settings->connections->usb to pc->"ask about connection type when i connect" IS checked)
Tried a soft reset to see if that would change anything, but nothing changed.
Unplug your connections to your computer.
don't disable them.
If it is wireless, turn it off, don't disable.
I cannot share my connection while plugged into the network.

Lets break this down a little bit. First of all who is your carrier? Also, do you have the tethering option on your plan? (not that its completely necessary)
From there we can figure out the next step.
tethering
what about PDANET? I used it on my 6700.

Here you go. Install both cabs, reset the device, and go into Programs and start ICSShrUi. You'll be able to tether no problem. Ive been doing so I received my Verizon TP on Tuesday.
Just yesterday until evening everything was cool, but since then and now as soon as I try to connect it says "obtaining ip adress", after that it says "remembered" and then disconnected. Security says its OPEN so I dont know:/
in the end it says disabled. so I try to connect again and its all over again as mentioned before maybe because my phone is from t-mobile or it has nothing to do with that ?(not factory free)
After successfully rooted my device and have xposed framework and modules like gravitybox[KK], i observed that when i try to connect my phone again to any pc using my USB connector, it seems that the "USB connection mode" (where you be able to switch to another usb connection mode, for example, mtp to charging, charging to mtp) are not showing up on my notification area. I regret my self because the last time the "usb connection mode" are still working, i choose the charge only. And when i try to connect again, i can't switch anymore. I also try to add some code related to usb connection in my build.prop but it didn't help. Any solution to this problem? Anyone out there have strong solution pls share. Thanks.
Hi guys,
I have a OPO with Lollipop, but I think this problem affects Android as a whole.
When my device cannot connect to a WiFi network, appears "connection error" in light gray under the name of the network (where usually appears "connected") and does not try to connect again.
Is there a setting somewhere to tell Android to keep trying to connect?
Usually when I arrive to my house, it detects Wifi when I'm still very far, does not succed to connect (obviously) and then does not try to connect again.
When I arrive to my workplace, it detects Wifi when I'm still in the elevator with poor reception, does not succed to connect and then does not try to connect to the same network again.
If I click "connect" manually then, it connects in a second.
What can I do?
Is there a setting somewhere to force to try to reconnect a few times before giving up?
Thanks in advance to any Android genius that could help me here.
I'm trying to put music on my phone, so I got HiSuite set up and everything and tried to connect. At first, it didn't connect at all, so I did some research to find a fix.
I've set the settings to allow HDB HiSuite connection, and I've turned on USB Debugging in developer mode as well. (I've tried with and without USB Debugging on) It's also set by default to MTP connections, and yes when the notification pops up it says charging only, but I switched it to Media.
On the computer, it shows up as connected and I get a pop up saying 'connect to device-please authorize your computer to manage your device.' In order to continue, I have to click ok on a pop up on my phone that says 'Allow connection in HDB mode'.
But I'm not getting that pop-up so I am stuck on this step.
I've tried switching out cables but that doesn't work. I was using the cable that came with the phone originally anyway. If it's the port I'm screwed, because it's the only port that still works on this computer.
Any ideas of something else that could be causing the problem? I appreciate any help you could give.
